A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

PREVIOUSLY...

They ought to be here soon.

What's her name?

Vita.

Have you told her about me?

I don't like to talk about you and me.

Good evening.

Sorry we're late.

Sweetheart, how are you?

You must be Teresa. Nice to meet you.

I'm Vita Puzzi, Francesco's ex-wife.

Nice to meet you.

Do you have children, Teresa?

Yes, a girl. Her name's Sofia.

Look, I don't want any problems with the law,

but I don't want problems with my boss, either.

You've got two options.

You take the money and go home,

or you come in but leave empty-handed. What'll it be?

If you're bribing me,

it's because not everything is all right in there.

Renata wants to rescue her friend Sofia,

who she says has been kidnapped,

but the truth is she herself is Sofia,

trying to free herself from being locked up,

which is overwhelming her.

What are you thinking about?

About Sofia.

About how one day I'll meet the bastard that kidnapped her.

When all this is over, you'll talk to her

and explain what happened with her father.

She's a smart girl.

My plan didn't work, and Mexican police love money.

My birthday is the day after tomorrow

and I only want one gift:

to go far away with my grandmother Cayetana Aljarafe.

MALAGA, SPAIN

Teo, son, I did it.

I'm going to Mexico to find your daughter.

It's my little form of payback for that Mexican.

She took you,

and I'm going to take her daughter.

THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH

PALERMO, ITALY

I'm being told everything is under control.

We're ready to attend that meeting when you are.

Perfect. Today is very important.

Walk with me.

What's up with you, little vampire?

You nervous or what?

Nervous, excited, anxious,

and with butterflies in my stomach.

Are those butterflies

because of the good time we had last night?

What good time are you talking about? What happened?

Why do I even ask if I already know?

I bet you had a night of wild Italian sex!

The cat's out of the bag.

Your eyes are twinkling, Rocio.

You're smitten with the Colombian.

Stop it, Sheila. Let's focus on the mission.

No, I'm always focused.

I'm just saying that if you die on the mission,

you'll enter the afterlife in love.

What luck!

Teresa, I'd like to apologize for yesterday.

I was a real asshole.

We all make mistakes. It's fine.

Let's just focus on the meeting.

So you forgive me?

There's nothing to forgive.

Listen up.

The only people in that meeting will be Faustino, Nazario,

Abdelkader and me. You two wait outside with Anton.

It's very important that you remember where the guns are.

We shouldn't have to use them, but you never know.

I've done business with them before, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Maybe I'll hook up with a rich Italian

and he can put me up in an apartment in Palermo

-so I can retire. -You kidding me?

Sheila's looking good, isn't she?

I bet you'll find an Italian to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on you

and go to town on your pancetta.

All right, gentlemen, ma'am,

we have an important meeting ahead of us.

Jimena.

How'd you know it was me? I didn't give you my number.

I didn't have your number, but I knew you'd call.

Is that right? You don't say?

I don't know you,

but I'm guessing you're pretty good with the ladies.

Not at all.

I've just been thinking a lot about you, and you called me,

which means we have a connection.

Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?

No, I don't believe in that. Maybe in love at second sight.

There's a lot of bad dudes out there.

Are you saying we should see each other again

to see if it'll be love at second sight?

Yeah, you could say that.

I want to see you, too. Just name the time and place.

No, you decide.

I just moved to Culiacán and don't know my way around.

As for when? Well... tonight.

I'm busy with work so I don't think I can make it.

Oh, well. Some other time then.

No, wait.

How does tomorrow sound?

I know of a great place called El Submarino.

There's good music and...

I don't know, we could meet there

and see if it's love at second sight.

What do you say?

Okay. See you there.

Bye.

Are you nervous?

I thought these guys we're meeting were your allies.

No, they are, but I haven't done business in a while,

and I don't want to seem out of practice.

This business is like riding a bicycle.

You never forget how to do it, Teresa.

The Mexican and her people should be here soon.

I'll be on the lookout for any updates.

Bye.

Here.

It's black tea, extra strong.

Thank you.

My Russian colleague is at the meet-up place waiting for Tesa.

Is everything okay?

Supposedly.

There's just one person there that they're unfamiliar with.

Is it something to be worried about?

For the moment, my only worry is you coming through.

Make sure everything's in order.

Mrs. Mendoza, welcome!

Thank you, Mr. Rossellini.

Sir.

Zurdo Villa. Nazario.

-Pleasure to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Faustino Sanchez Godoy.

-Nice to meet you. -A pleasure.

How's it going, Lupo?

I'm looking at Teresa and her group.

They're about to go in to negotiate with the Italians.

Don't lose sight of Teresa. Follow her every move.

Nothing can happen to her.

Don't worry. I have eyes on her.

There's no room for error.

Teresa has to bring that man down as soon as possible.

If there are any mistakes, if anything goes wrong,

you'll be responsible, Lupo.

Keep me informed.

Who is Lupo? And who is Teresa?

Since when do you eavesdrop when I'm on the phone?

I wasn't eavesdropping. I went to get something to eat.

You weren't in bed, and I overheard your conversation.

FYI, this is campaign related, and it's none of your business.

Who is Lupo?

Are you jealous?

I'm not jealous and don't treat me like an idiot.

I heard exactly what you said.

You asked him to follow Teresa and not lose sight of her.

Who is Teresa? Who are you taking down?

Why do you sound like a thug and why--

Hold on, let's get one thing straight.

My job and our relationship are two separate things,

and don't you forget it.

There are things you don't need to know.

Would the ladies like to see my hacienda?

Thank you so much.

My friends appreciate your hospitality.

Very well. Loreno, give the young ladies a tour around the place.

Show them the chapel.

There they can pray so our negotiations go well.

Sure. Great.

Sheila, be good.

I'd love to misbehave, but I'm out of luck.

It's a beautiful house.

All these flowers remind me of my grandmother's house.

The house is fine, but the staff is finer.

Check out that stud.

Teresa just passed the area where they can detect the video signal.

Are you sure?

Completely.

I'm ready to activate the camera.

I'm waiting on your signal.

I trust you. Do it now.

Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Ms. Teresa Mendoza.

-Come in. -Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Good afternoon.

The ones in that corner are 'Ndrangheta.

Them there are from Cosa Nostra, run by Roberto Rossellini, our host.

The ones next to them are the Russians.

Cherova and Rostov.

The man in black to your right is Kim Joo.

He's South Korean.

These two over here are Romanians.

Lazarescu and Neagu.

Sounds pretty bad ass.

All of the heavy hitters are here.

Who's the guy with the funny hat?

I don't know. I can't place him.

But we'll find out soon enough.

In which language would you like to carry out the negotiations, gentlemen?

Is Italian okay?

He doesn't look like he wants to make a deal with anyone.

He hates the fact that a woman is leading the meeting.

I'm sure of it.

Do you know him, Oleg?

That's the man Rostov said they didn't know.

I've never seen him before, either.

If he was invited, he must be partnered with the Italians.

That's what I was told,

but it's strange that he wasn't on the list.

Regardless of who he is, his face is giving me the creeps.

Same here.

Oleg, I could run facial recognition software

and then we could run his picture

through the database Abdelkader granted us access to.

Do it now. I want to know who he is.

Ms. Mendoza, I'd like to tell you two things.

One, we're willing to work with you

and your partners in this endeavor.

You've asked for the best, we'll give you more than that.

Two, in my 65 years on this earth, I never, ever thought

I'd see a woman leading the negotiations at this table.

The world has changed so much,

but we're willing to change with it.

If you don't change with the times, you'll die on the way.

And I want to live to be 100!

Cheers!

It's a pleasure working with you, gentlemen.

And lady.

You forget that your fellow countrywoman was the one who organized this meeting.

What can I tell you, guys?

I feel like Christopher Columbus.

Let's conquer the world!

Cheers!

I told you we'd negotiate with the top dogs.

Zurdo.

Here's your wine.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Cheers.

Once again, thank you very much.

You'll soon hear from me.

I hope so.

There's no need to thank me.

From the moment we met,

I knew you were an amazing woman,

but I've realized something else today.

I've never met anyone as business savvy as you.

Take good care of yourself, darling.

You too.

-Macbeth. -Excuse me.

I'm serious.

I was just telling Rossellini

that I'm liking Italy more and more.

I'd move here, Teresa.

You chose a wonderful place to exile yourself.

I did, didn't I? Italy is beautiful.

But with all due respect to the Italians present here,

there's no place like Mexico.

That I understand. Thank you.

I'll see you later.

You left me speechless, Teresa.

You speak English, Italian... You should be president.

Now it's our turn to keep the promises we made.

When they're happy, these guys will dance a tarantella.

But when they're pissed, they'll serve you spaghetti with a side of lead.

You've won me over. I'll do whatever you say.

I'm curious. I want to know who he is.

Do you think he has teeth?

I'll go find out who he is.

You're a very passionate woman. You have my admiration.

Thank you.

I watched you and could tell nothing I said sat well with you.

You were very serious.

I don't speak or smile often.

I'd like to make you a very special offer.

Could I have a minute of your time?

This will require some level of discretion.

I'm sorry, but I didn't ask Mr. Roberto

what your name was.

Where are you from?

You'll find out soon enough.

I'd like to tell you about a project I've been working on for years.

All that's missing in order for it to be a success is you.

Would you grant me this honor?

The honor would be mine.

Do you have a hit? Who is he?

No, not yet. It's still loading.

My name is Jamal Al-Kalam.

Does my last name ring a bell?

Well...

I'm really sorry, sir,

but I've been out of the business for so long that I really can't place you.

Got it. I have him.

He's Turkish.

He was born in Ankara. A Sunni?

Have we met before?

You and I haven't.

Jamal...

Do you know him?

You knew my son.

Oh, yeah?

Or have you also forgotten Tarek Al-Kalam, Mexican?

It's him. No, that can't be.

I see you've remembered my son.

Call Teresa quickly. Quickly!

I promised my wife I'd avenge our son's death.

I had his son killed in order to save Tesa.

It's been written! So it shall be!

Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

Help!

Oleg, call Anton! They're going to kill me!

Oleg!

I'm trying, but Anton isn't answering!

Help!

Talk to me, Oleg.

Tesa has just been kidnapped. Run to the back of the house!

Anton, help me!

I think there are four of them. Hurry!

Anton, what's going on?

Let go!

Hurry, Anton!

What should we do, Oleg?

It's too late.

Let go! Let go, Goddamn it!

Scream all you want, no one will hear you.

When they figure out I'm missing, they're going to rain hellfire on you.

Instead of threatening me, you should pray, murderer.

If your people want to avenge you after today,

I'll be waiting for them.

Especially your partner Yasikov.

Stop!

Go!

Only Teresa's phone is here.

They took her in a van. This is your fault!

What's going on, Anton? Where's Teresa?

She asked me to leave her side. I shouldn't have done so, Oleg.

No, you shouldn't have!

I'm sorry, sir.

-Who kidnapped her? -What?

The Turk who was at the meeting.

Go back and warn everyone. You need to find her.

Don't waste more time.

Damned Turk!

We have to tell the others that the Turk kidnapped the boss.

This can't be happening.

They'll look for you all over Palermo.

The hatred in your eyes

pales in comparison to the hatred I feel for you.

I've spent ten long years mourning Tarek's death.

Your son tried to kill me!

He killed two of the people I loved most.

They were family!

You tried to steal our business!

Our clients went to work with you,

and no one would do business with us until you vanished.

What's going to happen now, Oleg?

They're going to kill her.

Shut up!

No, what awaits Tesa is a fate worse than death.

They don't kill their enemies.

They sacrifice them.

How'd you find me?

Patience.

Allah says patience is a horse that never tires.

Patience and victory are twin sisters.

Yes, the Koran speaks of patience but also forgiveness.

And yours is a law of retaliation.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand.

When you disappeared, I reached out to everyone who knew you.

I asked about you.

No one knew where you were hiding.

Nothing lasts forever, does it, Mexican?

I went into business with all of your allies,

and I earned your friends' trust.

Like I did with the Italians.

I knew that one day you'd come knocking on their door again,

and I'd be there to let you in.

If this is a joke, you'll pay dearly for it.

No, we're serious.

I went with him to the back of the house

-where Teresa and that man went. -What man?

The Turk who was with you at the meeting, the one with the white cap.

I didn't like his ugly mug.

We must act quickly.

The longer we wait, the further away they'll take Teresa.

Get the trucks so we can comb the area, damn it!

What if it was the Italians?

No, we've worked with them a long time.

I don't know them, and I distrust my own shadow.

That asshole's going to hear from me.

Teresa was kidnapped right under your nose, asshole!

And all because you brought Alibaba and his four fools.

You were responsible for our safety here.

You'll answer for what happens!

Is Rossellini your accomplice? Did he know about this?

He has no idea.

But he made me very happy when he called to say

the Mexican was back and invited me to his party.

Thanks to Rossellini, I closed the best deal of my life.

No, no, no. This is a misunderstanding.

I'm embarrassed by the situation, and I apologize for it.

We've done business together for many years,

but I didn't know Jamal bore ill will toward the Mexican.

-What? -This is a mistake.

He apologizes on behalf of everyone.

He didn't know the Turk bore ill will toward the Mexican.

I don't believe him. Does the Turk own a home here?

He doesn't believe you.

He asks if the Turk has a house here in Italy.

No, Jamal always travels from Turkey.

If he has a house here, I don't know about it.

I tell the truth. You must believe me!

He says the Turk doesn't own property here.

He always travels from Turkey. Believe him.

I'll believe him when he returns Teresa safe and sound.

He says he'll believe you

when you bring Teresa back safe and sound.

Luigi, get the cars! Quickly!

We have to look for her, too. I don't trust these fuckers.

Translate this.

Tortellini, you'd better be careful with these ladies.

They are my world. Look after them.

If anything happens to them, I'll set this house on fire

and its ashes won't be enough to light a fucking joint.

We need guns.

If anything happens to Teresa, you're a fucking dead man!

Get the guns! Quickly!

You and you... come with me.

Let's go.

You had your son kill two innocent people who had done nothing to you.

We were after you and the Russian,

but capturing you two proved to be very difficult.

That's why we took the boy.

We knew you'd surface sooner or later.

These bastards are prepared.

There are no windows or a visual of the road.

Everything was going well until...

The look on that man's face is awful.

-Let me listen. -I didn't know she was there.

She got in my car without my knowledge.

She was desperate. And do you know why?

Because you'd sent her her son's finger.

She wasn't even armed.

You showed up with explosives strapped to your body,

but you didn't have the courage to blow yourself up.

The Russian shot my son in the head and killed him.

Do you realize how dearly you've paid for stealing our business?

Those aren't the rules.

What fucking rules are you talking about?

There are no rules in this business!

You're a bunch of fucking murderers! That's what you are!

Deep down you know I'm right.

You're wrong.

Jihad is a religious duty.

That woman and her son weren't your flesh and blood.

You, however, killed my son.

The best jihad occurs when your horse is beheaded

and your blood is shed.

I don't know what you said, but you're going to kill me, right?

Kill me.

Doing so won't bring back your son.

You don't understand a thing.

After your execution, my wife will be able to speak again

and my son will enter paradise.

I activated the translation software.

He just said,

"The best jihad occurs when your horse is beheaded

and your blood is shed."

-They're going to slit her throat. -Shut up, damn it!

Teresa can't die.

Her daughter can't be orphaned.

They're going to kill her,

like they killed Fatima and her son.

Hello.

What's up, Lupillo?

I'm very busy right now.

What you have to say better be important, Batman.

Relax, man.

I'm calling to tell you everything's fine.

When do you call to say everything's fine?

Well, things weren't fine 'cause the police came by.

What did you say?

The kid started a fire, and I had to put it out.

I had to put out two fires, the kid's and the police.

How is she?

Everything's okay, but I had to bribe--

Now you know-- hello.

Hello? Lupo?

He doesn't want to talk to you because you annoy him.

He thinks he's my boss, but he's just another errand boy.

Come on. It's bedtime.

I'm not sleepy.

Look, that plane is so far away

that even if you set the island on fire, it wouldn't see you.

If you want to dream about it, do it in your bed.

Get up. Let's go.

You're such a pain, kid.

What happened?

They put a hood on her

so she can't see where she's being taken.

If they don't want her to see where she is,

that means they won't kill her, right?

The dead can't talk.

Or they're being careful in case Teresa tries to get away.

This way, she wouldn't know where to go.

It'd buy them time to recapture her.

Review everything we've recorded.

We may have missed a clue.

Let go!

Let go!

Come on, come on!

I promised my wife I'd avenge my son's death.

It is Allah's will!

Let go!

Stop. I saw something.

That's a person, isn't it?

Wow, only someone in their 20s would see that.

Let's find out. Zoom in.

Yes, Paloma's right. It's a man.

Move forward frame by frame.

It's Francesco! Teresa's friend!

The Italian was there, and he's seen everything.

He was watching her.

He followed her there.

Teresa was in Italy. It's normal for them to meet.

There? That was a private meeting.

The Italian doesn't know about those businesses.

I know, Oleg. I was just theorizing.

If he saw her being kidnapped, then he must've done something.

If he's in love with Teresa, then he followed them.

Do we have a copy of the memory from Tesa's phone?

-I need to speak to the Italian. -No, I just have her password.

Teresa is fiercely private.

Remember, Anton has her phone.

Ray, call Anton.

They removed the hood. We have a visual.

If you kill me, you won't be able to hide anywhere.

The Russian, Yasikov, will find you.

I swear it.

My wife stopped speaking on the day you killed our son.

What the fuck are you talking about?

She made a promise.

The last thing she said ten years ago was the following,

"You will hear your wife speak again

when your son's death has been avenged."

And she is here.

I will tell her that her silence has come to an end.

She must prepare.

Prepare?

Prepare for what, Oleg?

The law of retaliation.

She's going to be shot in the head.

No, they're going to do what Tesa did that time.

What are you going to do to me?

No, no! You can't kill me!

I have a daughter! Her name is Sofia!

They killed her.

No, she's been sedated.

They wouldn't kill her with a mere injection.

They'd do something much more macabre.

Call Anton. I need to speak to the Italian.

From now on, we won't know what's going on.

Tesa's life is in Francesco's hands.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

When someone takes a life,

the deceased's representative has a right to redress.

I have my limits!

What? Are you going to stab me?

Oh, Allah, the almighty!
